Has anyone heard of any changes to the e60 exterior design planned for Sept. 06? If there are that would be very disappointing given I am taking delivery on my car May 19 only to be outdated a few months later. 
If this is true does anyone know what changes are in store?

It's BMW, the car you pick up will always be outdated in less than 6 months. As for the rest of this model year... probably another engine update coming.

Thanks. What should I search for? Body Upgrades?

That's right. Unfortunate thing, though, is that the likely effect on residuals is very very major
Shrug. I doubt it. It's hardly noticeable, and I don't really even like the alterations.
I found the pics...

Very minor - typical BMW ugrade IMO as it will only be obvious to those of us who have the car.
